Most of the filesystems that you will want to make available across the
network are going to fall into one of two categories. In cfengine
parlance these are called home directories and binary
directories. A home directory is a place where users' login
directories are kept. This is traditionally a directory called
`/home' or `/users' or some subdirectory of these. A binary
directory is a place where compiled software is kept. Such files (which
do not belong to the pure operating system release) are often placed in
a directory called `/usr/local' or simply `/local'.
In this chapter we shall consider a scheme for using cfengine to make NFS filesystem management
quite painless.
